This is crazy. I have heard these rumors since I was a kid, always thought it was just a myth.Oddly enough, I never had any problems with ET. But then again, I read instructions. Falling in the holes was a pain, the gameplay itself was ok. Atari games are usually so simple so you don't have to read the instructions, so most folks just played the game and when they couldn't figure out what to do they said "this game sucks!". Raiders of the Lost Ark is another one. You had to use the SECOND JOYSTICK to manage the inventory. Only a dozen of people actually knew this, the rest thought the game sucked.
